*MON Jun 23* This morning I did my assignments and left at 7:30 to visit a dentist. I wanted an assessment on my molar transplant that has come loose. He looked at the x-ray, took a tweezers, and pulled it out. He suggested that I wait some time before I decide what to do next. In the meantime I need to rinse my mouth when I brush teeth so that nothing sticks in the implant pit. He said that some people have difficulty with implants and suggested that I might consider a bridge. It was scheduled to be a 19-mile ride.today; I got on my bike about 9. I was behind most of the Marchers but caught up with them eventually. On the roadside shoulder there were piles of snow. I suspect it was hail that accumulated and looked like snow. I went through Brush, CO about 10 miles. At the 13- mile point the commode truck driver stopped me and said that we were going to camp at Brush City Park because of weather conditions. So I rode back to Brush (15 mile ride). When Lin called she reminded me that Bruv Ravnsborg had lived in Brush before he died in an airplane crash. I was unable to get a hold of his sister to see if any of his children lived in this town. It was dinnertime, and immediately after dinner the thunderstorm started. It lasted for about 1 ½ hours. Luckily the City Park had a dining hall that we could get inside. We had a community meeting for 1 ½ hours. It was still raining when the meeting was over. We shut the lights off and went to bed. Most of us slept inside on the floor. *TUE Jun 24* It took awhile to straighten up the hall that we'd slept in. Breakfast was served outside under the shelter roof. There were puddles of water in the driveway and parking lot. Ethan finally got tired of driving the Gear truck and has left for awhile. Since we had camped short of yesterday’s route, and were planning to keep the original schedule today, it would be at least a 22 mile bike ride, so I volunteered to drive the Gear truck. We camped at the high school in Akron, CO. We were given permission to sleep in the gym because bad weather was predicted. I got my gear out and placed it in the gym. I found a café in town that had WiFi and did some journaling. At 3:30 PM I took a shower in the boys locker room. At 4 there was a meeting to get out our expectations about what the March should accomplish and how it should affect society. We were asked to create a statement in advance. People read their statements and the rest of the group commented on the reading. I had a list of actions we need to take in order to change our Consume-and-Throw-Away culture. Dinner was ready before we had a chance to get all of the statements read. I handed mine in to the chairperson. We had dinner and were able to sit outside. After dinner I went to bed. -- Peace, David
